The first axis is defined by a transverse pin fitted to the gimbal and rotatably secured to the base plane. The mounting plane is tilted about either axis by driving an associated, diagonally opposite pair of support arm members linearly so as to foreshorten one support arm member to the extent that the other is lengthened. | |
